And because of that napatigil ako.

“Oh.” Was all I could manage to say.

Seryoso? Bakit hindi ko siya nakikita lagi? Hindi naman yata sila close ni Ryan.

Parang nabasa naman nya yung nasa utak ko.

 

“We’re not friends though,” so that answered my question.

I just nodded, I don’t really want to talk about Ryan.

Maya-maya nagpaalam sila Van at yung twins may lalapitan lang daw silang group of girls, tapos si Rocky iihi lang daw, so I’m left with two strangers.

Medyo awkward kahit parang naging close na kami dahil sa mga kulitan at kwentuhan namin simula pa kanina.

And speaking of awkward, hobby na yata ni Roland na gawing awkard yung situation when it comes to talking to me.

 

“So, is there a thing between you and Rocky?” he asked smiling.

“Oo nga, wala na bang chance para magkabalikan kayo?” nakangiti ding tanong ni Bryan.

I smiled and shook my head.

 

“No, there’s nothing going on between me and Rocky and there will be no chance for us to get back together.” I said honestly.

 

“Bakit naman? As far as I know you and Ryan are no longer together right?” Roland said casually.

Bakit ganon sa dating ng pananalita nya pakiramdam ko marami siyang alam tungkol sa’kin? Damn

 

“Yes, we’re not together anymore but that doesn’t mean I want to jump to a new relationship, besides mas gusto ko yung ganito lang kami ni Rocky, mas nagwowork kami as friends.”

 

 

 

“Oh, I see. Pano mo naman nasabi?”

Tinignan ko lang silang dalawa bago ko uminom ulit ng beer and I smiled, “We tried so many times to get back together tuwing uuwi ako ng Pinas kaya lang it’s just not working out. Seems like it’s just really a puppy love saka ang bata pa nga kasi talaga namin non’ parang wala lang din barkadang sweet lang we didn't even get a chance to be alone.” I said shaking my head.

 Then Roland grimaced.

"So you guys didn't????" he asked knowingly and because of that I laughed. Siraulo talaga to.

"No, we didn't." I said still laughing until Rocky came back.

"What are you guys laughing about?" he asked as he sat next to me.

"Nothing." Roland, Bryan and I said simultaneously.

Then we burst out laughing again.

Time flies when you're having fun next thing I know nasa labas na kami ng Tides it's already 3:27 am

"Are you sure you can drive?" Van asked for the nth time with concern written all over his face just like the other guys.

"I jst fcking answered that while ago. I said I'm sober, I can manage." I answered, getting really annoyed.

Si Bryan medyo lasing na kaya nauna na siyang umuwi kanina, while Jowelle left earlier with a girl he just met.
